He’s crawling too. Now he’s standing in the crib and doesn’t know how to get down. Rough night of screaming and crying. Any advice.....?</p> <p>He sleeps well now just this. </p> <p>TIA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801553 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 08:58:49 +0000 cake2017 2801553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>LO has been sleeping well. Hes going to be 8 months this month. Now he is waking up quick from naps and night time sleep. Normal? How long? He’s up in the crib in his crawling stance :) .<br /> He’s on the floor all day and getting a lot of play time so I am comfortable with that. </p> <p>Any tips or we just ride this one out???!!???</p> <p>TIA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-crawlers-2#post-2799665 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 11:26:28 +0000 Clementine12 2799665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is coming up on 9 months and isn't showing any signs of crawling. The questionnaire for this upcoming ped appt asks about crawling, pulling up, and cruising - none of this behavior is happening. My daughter rolls like crazy and will stand if I put her in that position. She does not get her torso off the ground, and resists my attempts to show her by planking, pretty much (girl must have abs of steel). We have lots of playtime on the floor everyday.</p> <p>How old was your LO when they started crawling? Did they show signs of figuring out our before they started, or was it all of the sudden? Is my LO late or am I worrying over nothing?</p> <p>Thanks in advance :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-kid-skipped-crawling#post-2797121 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 15:18:49 +0000 justjules 2797121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has always hated being on her stomach. She is almost 9mo and still not crawling (DS was almost waking at this point. They really couldn’t be more different!) </p> <p>she has now almost mastered the bum scoot to get where she wants to go.

He pulls himself up on everything and doesn't even want to sit anymore. All he wants to do is stand. He can even let go and balance for a second or two. I'm so surprised that he is doing this before even army crawling! I guess all babies are unique! Anyone else have a kiddo that did milestones out of "order"? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-proofing-a-fireplace-hearth-help#post-2717673 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 07:25:23 +0000 RyBMama 2717673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My six month old is officially on the move and our new home has a stone fireplace hearth that has made me nervous from the day that we moved in.

She just crawled across the room out of nowhere at 7 months. My younger son is 7 months now and can army crawl quite well. But I've never once seen him on all fours. I'm not worried per se, he can get where he needs to go, sits up independently for long stretches, and is only 7 months anyway. I'm mostly just curious if and when I can expect him to real crawl. He loves to hold on to something and stand up so part of me thinks he might go straight to walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-item-was-used-to-get-your-lo-to-crawl-for-the-first-time#post-2547256 Thu, 12 May 2016 11:45:00 +0000 BSB 2547256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We saw DS trying to reach for my iphone.

But she's still getting around everywhere! She mostly rolls, but has started to army crawl a tiny bit. But she's much more interested in pulling up and standing next to things now. I have a feeling once she gets a little more confident in her balance, she will be walking. Therefore, skipping crawling!!</p> <p>Anyone else? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-army-crawl-or-skip-it#post-2514669 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 10:51:57 +0000 mrsjyw 2514669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 never army crawled and crawled on all fours at 9 months.</p> <p>DS2 started army crawling last week at 8.5 months.

She isn't crawling. We realized at about 8 months that we had been letting her play in her exersaucer and bouncer too much instead of encouraging floor time. I think this might be the culprit, but I still worry about her development. We got rid of those toys and she now plays exclusively on the floor. She HATES tummy time, though.<br /> She gets into a position that looks like she's about to crawl, but hasn't yet. She loves to stand against furniture to play, but can't pull herself up to standing yet. She's been sitting unsupported since 6.5 months. Her pediatrician said she was fine at her 9-month check-up, but I still worry! Anyone else have late movers?? I posted something similar when she was almost 8 months, but as time goes on, I worry more and more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-8-month-old-not-crawling#post-2289758 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 14:14:41 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2289758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD will be 8 months in 3 days. She's still not crawling. I have to admit that I've never been great with tummy time because she's never liked it. She spends much more time in her exersaucer or jumper than she does on the floor. If she IS on the floor, she's sitting. When we put her on her tummy, she whimpers and sometimes cries, so we don't do it much. She isn't scooting or anything either. I'm getting really worried. Does anyone have advice or has had the same experience? Thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pull-up-to-stand#post-2220215 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 21:17:27 +0000 msplatypus 2220215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wonder what your baby first used to pull themselves up to stand. LO seems to be trying, but I don't know if we have anything in the house she can use! Her zippidee seems to keep her from trying in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-pulling-themselves-up#post-2187227 Fri, 22 May 2015 14:12:17 +0000 BandDmommy 2187227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your LO start pulling themselves up? How long after that were they walking?</p> <p>DS was late sitter/crawler but early walker.. DD is 6 months and started army crawling around 5 months and can know pull herself to standing position at 6 months.

He's only 7 months old, so I wasn't ready for this yet. His brother was just shy of 9 months old when he finally started. The timing matches their personalities, though. One is just slower to do everything, and the other is always so busy trying to do everything lol.</p> <p>How old was your LO(s) when they started crawling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-skipped-crawling#post-2044535 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 20:19:57 +0000 spaniellove 2044535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did they do instead, if anything? </p> <p>I (and his EI therapists) thought LO was going to just skip crawling because his reflux has made tummy time so miserable, but today I found him scooting backwards on his butt. Basically moonwalking on his butt. He's liking this way of getting around, although I'm afraid of what the friction on the wood floor will do to his feet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-crawlers-1#post-2032551 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:15:00 +0000 prettylizy 2032551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 is 10.5 months and still isn't crawling or pulling up. I'm trying to be super chill about it and just know she'll get there on her own but as we creep closer to her birthday I'm starting to worry that we should be seeking PT or something. When did your kids crawl? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/standingwalking-without-pulling-up-or-cruising#post-2030030 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 22:45:46 +0000 Mae 2030030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my LO can't ever do anything the easy way! She hasn't really hit any of her milestones the "normal" way and standing is turning out to be no different. </p> <p>Rather than pulling up on things, she just stands up from the floor. She gets up on hands/feet and then just stands up. Except this is sort of a horrible way to learn how to stand because she doesn't have time to practice balancing-- so she only stays up a few seconds before falling over. And she does this like.... 10,000 times per day lol. If I put her standing next to furniture she will put her hands on it for like, 2 seconds and then she lets go and tries to balance on her own then falls down. And she hates when you hold her arms/hands so I can't really help her. I feel like this kid works hard, not smart ;) </p> <p>Anyone else's baby try to learn to stand and walk without ever really pulling up on stuff or cruising? Can they even do that?? lol</p> <p>Little miss I-can-do-it-on-my-own-MOM.

He's not getting off of his belly during tummy time. We're in the process of starting EI but we're trying to help him on our own while we wait. His ped was able to show us that he can be placed in the crawling position which was exciting. But we don't have much success of doing it ourselves at home. I don't know if it's because we don't know what we're doing or T doesn't take us seriously. Haha<br /> We can get him in it, but only if we forcibly hold him in that position supporting him. He holds himself up on his hands but constantly wants to lay back down. His ped got him to hold the position himself. </p> <p>Besides forcing him into it and holding him still, which only makes him mad, what are some other ways? He gets even more mad with a mirror or a toy in front of him because now he can't reach for it in the crawling position. We're looking at at least another 2 weeks before we can start physical therapy and as we approach his first birthday I feel like I'm wasting time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-they-started-to-crawl#post-2003022 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 17:00:00 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2003022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was about 7 months and DD2 just started crawling (not army crawling) at 9.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-from-standing-unassisted-to-first-steps#post-1963415 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 19:41:28 +0000 Tanjowen 1963415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much what the title asks.
